Autumn is arguably the coziest season, when we make our homes beautiful with warm colors, candlelight, and cozy textiles. But just like in fashion, some trends in interior design can feel worn out over time, and we are ready to move on. myHOMEBOOK reveals which fall decor is no longer in vogue this year and which elements we should say goodbye to.
Plastic Is Yesterday’s News
The small, shiny plastic pumpkins have adorned many homes in recent years. However, today they seem more artificial than charming and no longer align with the desire for naturalness and sustainability. Instead, interior enthusiasts are opting for real decorative pumpkins in soft natural tones that enhance any arrangement, or dried versions that can last several seasons.
Pumpkin-shaped pillows or small, crocheted fabric pumpkins as decorative elements are also a stylish alternative. They look more high-quality, are made from more sustainable materials, and can be brought out again next season.
Less Is More
Opulent Pumpkin Spice arrangements made of artificial leaves, ribbons, and countless accessories were long a popular eye-catcher. But the overloaded look no longer fits the zeitgeist, which favors minimalism and tranquility. Modern fall wreaths today consist of fewer, but higher-quality materials like dried eucalyptus or pampas grass. These appear airier, simpler, yet still atmospheric.
Farewell to Neon Orange
The signal color orange was as much a part of fall as leaves are to trees for years. But in modern, minimalist interiors, the bright color scheme can quickly become distracting. More contemporary are warm earth tones like ocher, terracotta, or deep reddish-brown, which blend harmoniously into existing decor and convey coziness without dominating the space.
No More Decor Slogans
“Hello Fall” or “Pumpkin Season”—decor signs with seasonal slogans have spread almost exponentially in recent years. Today, however, they seem interchangeable and not very elegant. Instead, art objects and wall decorations that tell a story without words are coming into focus: handcrafted textile wall hangings, nature photography, or abstract prints that subtly enhance the room.

Glitter Is Out
Autumn leaves with glitter dust, sparkling candle holders, or shiny pine cones may have once stood for festivity, but today they often seem kitschy and cheap. High-quality materials with a matte finish are the new alternative. Whether ceramic vases, simple glass lanterns, or metal elements made of brass and iron—they add depth and elegance to spaces without being overwhelming.
The New Fall Look: Natural, Minimalist, and Authentic
Fall decor in 2025 eschews artificial effects and focuses on authentic materials, muted colors, and a minimalist design language. Instead of glitter and plastic, natural tones, craftsmanship, and minimalism create an atmosphere that is both warm and modern. This results in a home that feels not only seasonal but also timelessly cozy.
